Rolite Aircraft Polishes. I use the type AP-300 after achieving a
decent
shine. Its micro ceramic ballons that 'smoothes' out all small
sctatches
left by ANY abrasive because it is technically not an abravive. Then
coat
onece or twice a year with their polish /sealant in bottle to
prevent
oxidation. Below are some links. Yuu may want to shop around for
best price.
I buy my stuff at either Sun N Fun Airshow in Fla. or Oskosh Show.

I use a 00 micro balloon polish cream for aircraft. What it does

is

smoothes

out the micro scratches any or your abrasive polishes leave for

a mirror

finish.

email me later for the brand and web address as I just got in

from 4
days

on

the trail.

you will love the stuff and wont believe the results. Forget

your cycle

stuff and buffing wheels.

Hey John,
Thanks for the relies. Once you get your parts buffed do you

coat
them

with anything or just let them ride?
Thanks again.

Any helpful hints for buffing

Part 2

Forgot to mention, Do not mix polishing compounds on the

same
buffs.

Mark each buff with the compound you're using on it. Wash

the old

caked

on polish off frequently and of course when switching

compounds.
Have

a

soft cloth to wipe the white rouge/dust off with frequently

when in

the

final step.

The results get better as you work more on it. I ended up

redoing

parts

2-3 times as I caught on and the results got better.

Later,
